One encrypted file on your own disk, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no account: a password vault whose trust model is a file and a master password, nothing else.

Every signup form asking for your real address is a small wager on somebody else data handling. SimpleLogin hands out a separate forwarding address per site, passes the mail to your real inbox, and lets you switch off whichever alias starts receiving nonsense.

Cryptomator is an open-source tool that encrypts files in a local vault with AES-256 before they sync, so a cloud provider only ever stores unreadable data.

An open-source privacy extension that has been running for more than a decade. It blocks ads and trackers, swaps personal identifiers in requests for random values, and answers cookie consent prompts with a refusal on your behalf. Every page shows how many trackers it carried and which companies they belong to.

A public resolver that answers ad, tracking and phishing domains with a name that does not exist, so nothing on the network can reach them. It speaks every mainstream encrypted protocol, keeps no logs, needs no client, and its core is open enough to host yourself. The base service is free.
